The Government contemplates soliciting for the award of ONE Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

purpose of determining whether the acquisition should be set aside for a specific category. Typical task orders
(TOs) will consist of a broad range of new construction, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs of
institutional buildings and related structures of real property at the location listed above. Individual, firm-fixed
price TOs will be issued using the R.S. MEANS Estimating System along with a pre-negotiated coefficient.
Significant sub-contracting opportunities can be expected in a variety of trades to include, but not limited to:
architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, structural, roofing, demolition, environmental support,
carpentry, roadwork, painting, and masonry.
The anticipated performance period of this contract shall consist of one base year, plus four individual option
